    Yes, I was going to say Costco have bulk quantities of some brands, but not much choice if I remember rightly. You would need to go and have a look - but beware of spending an absolute fortune on other stuff while you're there! I can only allow myself in that place a couple of times a year, it's just too tempting :o

    Yeo, they just have one shampoo and one conditioner of tresemme.

    I was under the impression that shampoos etc did have a shelf life. I might be wrong though, some say 12 months from opening others 24 but surely if it has been opened & sniffed in a shop it counts as being opened & you wouldnt know if the one you had brought was the 1 that had been opened. I might be completley wrong though.
    I tend to use tresemme & like the others only get it when its on bogof which is often enough. the big bottle lasts me about 6 months.

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I would say wait til boots has BOGOFs or triple points offers and stock up then. Or buy from QVC they do salon sized products. Wilkinsons does tresemmé CHEEEP which I think is just an ordinary shampoo given a pseudo-french name to make it sell more - it worked :rolleyes:

    I can't think of a better way to reply to two posts,so:

    Presumably the US purchase involves actually going there?

    I too use Aveda 1ltr bottles, but they cost over £20 here. Still worth it though imo.

    Where in the UK do you buy Aveda 1 litre bottles? Now I've found Aveda I'd love to carry on using it.
    Thanks

    Well it does involve someone going there! I have a colleague and a cousin who travel to USA regularly and are happy to oblige as Aveda is easily available in shops there.

    One litre bottles are available on several websites and cost about £30 but I feel that you more than reclaim back the cost by not needed colour done so often.

    You can usually get Aveda from specalist salons but also from larger branches of Debenhams. I get mine from Debenahams in Castlecourt in Belfast. Travelling from the North West of N.I. is cheaper than paying the P&P on QVC.

    But not as cheap as some of the other beauty websites. Some of them do Free P&P. Check on Kelkoo or similar.

    FYI, you can get 750ml of Pantene in ASDA for £3.48. 400ml of the same stuff normally costs me £3.09!
